Books on Spring

I reviewed many books on Spring but these two are my favorites and they are worth purchasing: "Java Development with the Spring Framework" by the authors of the framework Rod Johnson, Juergen Hoeller, Alef Andersen, Thomas Risberg, Colin Sampaleanu. This is a very detailed book with great detail on all the major aspects of the Spring framework covered in great detail. This is so far the most authorative source on this framework. "Spring in Action" by C. Walls and R. Breidenbach. I really like "In Action" books. Relatively short, relevant, clear and easy to go through. This one is not as thorough as the "Java Development with the Spring Framework", but it will definitely get you going, and it will be enough for all the major tasks. I bought it as an eBook for about $20.
